Abstract

An efficient variational procedure to calculate the ground-state properties of the particle-hole symmetric periodic Anderson model is presented. Expectation values are calculated by using an approximate scheme. It is shown that the ground-state energy calculated with the one-site approximation, which essentially is a single-site mean-field approximation, is identical to the corresponding energy obtained by the well-known Gutzwiller wave function using the Gutzwiller approximation. The two-site approximation, in which intersite correlations are explicitly included, is shown to be a better approximation than the Gutzwiller approximation.
